RHD RS'ish
Saw this today. Dealer claims it was built to simulate a RHD RS. Interesting car nonetheless even missing the engine tins! Motor alone may be worth big money if its legit.

Jason-- Bring home a souvenir
You reminded me ... saved these shots to my hard drive last November.
IIRC, they're from the 2015 Autosport International at England's National Exhibition Centre:

From graemeHunt.com's "1995 Porsche 911 993 Carrera 3.6 to RS 3.8 specification:"
This 993 is really quite an amazing example, with a full service history to back up the genuine mileage indicated of 60.000, and a complete and extensive history folder evidencing the remarkable works undertaken to make her into a perfect facsimilie of the RS version using only Porsche Rennsport parts
The folder is just so large that I can only say do come to have a look through
The service book has 16 stamps since original supply by Lancaster Garages, in Colchester, official Porsche dealers (ie C16 UK specification)
Subsequent works have been by JZM Porsche or RPM Porsche - there are bills for all works undertaken - the main conversion to RS was carried out approx 20.000 miles ago and in more recent times the suspension has had further improvement and a new competition clutch has been fitted - these works within the last 8.000 miles
The conversion was so comprehensive and effectively carried out that an exclusive feature was produced for Porsche World in 2002 covering 5 pages this really does give an insight to the extent of the quality of the finished product
The engine specification, created by Steve McHale of JZ Machtech and designed by Roock in Germany (Ruff use them for development work and they have won 5 major European endurance Championships in the space of 7 years including Class wins at Le Mans and Daytona) has not only 305 bhp but perhaps more importantly a huge increase in torque over the factory RS now 285lb ft
Original 993 RS's are now very expensive and values seem to continue to rise steeply - this is due to the fact that they are the very last of the air cooled flat 6 engined 911 and obviously everyone is waking up to this fact
This example, hard to tell both cosmetically or on the road from a factory built RS, (0-60 in less than 5 seconds and 0 - 100 in 11 seconds) seems to be good value to us and to buy a good 993 (as this was before the RS bit) and then build an example such as this, would cost far more
She looks fabulous in the flesh actually - don't think the photo's do her justice and on the road is even more impressive, and as the revs spin past 5.000rpm she becomes an absolute rocket
For sale: $128,873.60

FWIW, seats appear to my eye as re-trimmed Recaro Pole Positions or similar.
This 993 is perfect – using only Porsche Rennsport parts
From "seats showcase: Recaro OEM hardback bucket sport shells- RS/ Speedster/ GT1/ GT2, etc" thread:
Recaro Pole Positions recovered like Porsche RS / Speedster hardback sport bucket seats, with an embossed crest. They sold in London for ~£2,000 GBP (~$3,300 USD).
From the seller's eBay listing:
